Also featured are the equally dedicated and talented musical leaders Yoni Battat and Yosef Goldman, both of whom are dedicated to learning and reclaiming the sounds of their families’ Jewish heritage in Iraq, Syria, Yemen, and Eastern Europe. Stay for the collaborative finale, when all musicians join forces for an unforgettable JAHM celebration. Join us in person or online for a diverse and rhythmic musical journey.
